Upon
the agreed motion of the government, pursuant to Fed. R.
Crim. P. 16(d) and 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(1) and (8), it is
hereby ORDERED:

1. All
of the materials provided by the United States in preparation
for, or in connection with, any stage of the proceedings in
this case (collectively, “the materials”) are
subject to this protective order and may be used by defendant
and defendant's counsel (defined as counsel of record in
this case) solely in connection with the defense of this
case, and for no other purpose, and in connection with no
other proceeding, without further order of this Court.

2.
Defendant and defendant's counsel shall not disclose the
materials or their contents directly or indirectly to any
person or entity other than persons employed to assist in the
defense, persons who are interviewed as potential witnesses,
counsel for potential witnesses, and other persons to whom
the Court may authorize disclosure (collectively,
“authorized persons”). Potential witnesses and
their counsel may be shown copies of the materials as
necessary to prepare the defense, but may not retain copies
without prior permission of the Court. The materials and
their contents shall not be disclosed either directly or
indirectly to any person or entity outside of the United
States without prior authorization from the Court.

3.
Certain materials disclosed or to be disclosed by the
government contains particularly sensitive information,
including financial information of one or more persons other
than the defendant to whom the information is disclosed. No
such materials, or the information contained therein, may be
disclosed to any persons other than defendant, counsel for
defendant, persons employed to assist the defense, or the
person to whom the sensitive information solely and directly
pertains, without prior notice to the government and
authorization from the Court. Absent prior permission from
the Court, financial sensitive information shall not be
included in any public filing with the Court, and instead
shall be submitted under seal (except in the case of a
defendant who chooses to include in a public document
sensitive information relating solely and directly to the
defendant making the filing).

4.
Defendant, defendant's counsel, and authorized persons
shall not copy or reproduce the materials except in order to
provide copies of the materials for use in connection with
this case by defendant, defendant's counsel, and
authorized persons. Such copies and reproductions shall be
treated in the same manner as the original materials.

5.
Defendant, defendant's counsel, and authorized persons
shall not willfully disclose any notes or records of any kind
that they make in relation to the contents of the materials,
other than to authorized persons, and all such notes or
records are to be treated in the same manner as the original
materials.

6.
Before providing materials to an authorized person, defense
counsel must provide the authorized person with a copy of
this Order.

7. Upon
conclusion of all stages of this case, all of the materials
and all copies made thereof shall be disposed of in one of
three ways, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. The
materials may be (1) destroyed; (2) returned to the United
States; or (3) retained in defense counsel's case file.
The Court may require a certification as to the disposition
of any such materials. In the event that the materials are
retained by defense counsel, the restrictions of this Order
continue in effect for as long as the materials are so
maintained, and the materials may not be disseminated or used
in connection with any other matter without further order of
the Court.

8. To
the extent any material is produced by the United States to
defendant or defendant's counsel by mistake, the United
States shall have the right to request the return of the
material and shall do so in writing. Within five days of the
receipt of such a request, defendant and/or defendant's
counsel shall return all such material if in hard copy, and
in the case of electronic materials, shall certify in writing
that all copies of the specified material have been deleted
from any location in which the material was stored.

9. The
restrictions set forth in this Order do not apply to
documents that are or become part of the public court record,
including documents that have been received in evidence at
other trials, nor do the restrictions in this Order limit
defense counsel in the use of discovery materials in judicial
proceedings in this case, except that any document filed by
any party which attaches or otherwise discloses specially
identified sensitive information as described in Paragraph 3,
